Nadiya Hussain’s Blueberry And Lavender Scone Pizza
"These scone wedges are made in one big circle, just like a pizza. I am forever getting involved in the what-goes-first debate (cream or jam?), though to be honest, as long as neither is left off, I’m a happy girl." –Nadiya Hussain

Apple, Rye and Cheddar Scones with Whipped Sage Brown Butter

Smitten Kitchen’s Jam-Bellied Bran Scones

Classic Butter Scones
The key to perfect scones is cold, grated butter—it’s what creates those beautiful flaky layers you love. For best results, grate butter or use a food processor or pastry knife to evenly distribute it through dough. Be sure to handle it as little as possible, to ensure the butter doesn’t melt before your scones go in the oven. (Note: if it starts to feel warm, just pop it into the fridge!)

Chocolate Mini-Egg Scones
We love a scone, and if we had our way, every gathering would feature one! At the bakery we have created hundreds of scone variations over the years, but we rarely do a chocolate base. Cocoa powder can tend to dry out baked goods, and it took us some testing to get the right balance to make this scone super chocolatey but still moist. Mini eggs provide an extra-crunchy exterior and a sweeter flavour than in traditional scones. — Nickey Miller and Josie Rudderham, Cake & Loaf bakery in Hamilton, Ont.
